Turns out DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is silently ignored on OS X Sierra due to System Integrity Protection (SIP), which can be turned off by booting into recovery mode by holding Cmd+R while booting. Open Terminal via Utilities and enter:

csrutil disable

Restart again. To re-enable repeat with, csrutil enable

When I try to build Europa from source by calling ant release-dist, I get "Env variable DYLD_BIND_AT_LAUNCH=YES must be set to build shared libraries" despite export showing that DYLD_BIND_AT_LAUNCH=YES:

Something weird with environment variables. Could this be related to SIP on OS X Sierra?

Workaround

Copy the .dylib files in lib folder to /usr/local/lib. Not ideal, obviously.

Any thoughts on resolving this issue folks?

I've looked into this a couple of times, and I haven't come up with a "good" resolution using the ant/jam/make build. It seems like you can:

1. Disable SIP as @theronic suggests.
2. Set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in main via setenv()
3. Link statically
4. Use otool to fix up the paths

Building using CMake seems not to have this problem for some reason.
